If you've ever caught yourself worried that you're "cheating" in your exercises when you modify a movement or use assistance, then this episode is for you. Dr. Jen breaks down where that belief comes from — and why it might actually be holding you back.

We'll talk about:

• Why the fitness world equates "harder" with "better" (and what that mindset costs you)

• How to know if you're truly compensating or actually supporting the movement in a smart way

• Three questions to help you know when a movement change is smart — not 'cheating.'
